- 11 thlr form. ..~ ARTRWR Zi S. AMA% FROM Special Actions Division DATE 1 Nov 82 cMl1 Mr. McMoneagle/jjb/7829 1. (S/NOFORN) CURRENT INTELLIGENCE SHORTFALL: As a result of briefings detailing USAINSCOM involvement in the use of parapsychological collection during the past three years, numerous questions have been generated which fall into the following categories: a. (S/NOFORN) Paranormal or Psychic State-of-the-Art capabilities. b. (S/NOFORN) Training and/or methods of learning used in Paranormal activities. c. (S/NOFORN) Interest in the application of Paranormal Human Technique(s) other than Remote Viewing (RV). A clear and satisfactory answer to questions addressing these categories were only adequate as relates to INSCOM efforts within Project GRILL FLAME . Open source data, while available, has not been effectively pursued as regards domestic or foreign capabilities within the paranormal subjects arena. As regards CI/OPSEC ? there has never been a formal Army effort to determine current U.S. vulnerability or establish foreign knowledgeability levels towards our own paranormal effort. 2. (S/NOFORN) PROPOSAL: With regard to the shortfalls above, propose that Project CENTER LANE, as a adjunct to current tasking, establish a program which will initiate extensive and detailed searches of automated open source data files in support of the following objectives: a. (S/NOFORN) Priority I - CI/OPSEC: Investigate automated open source data files and develop leads which establish how much data is available through open sources which would indicate the degree of Army (specifically INSCOM) involvement or success in paranormal activities. This would apply to both the R&D as well as practical applications which specifically center on Remote Viewing (RV). As a result of such investigations, make specific recommendations for protecting present and future capabilities or successes. b. (S/NOFORN) Priority II - PARANORMAL STATE-OF-THE-ART: Establish an accepted baseline for current state-of-the-art applicability of paranormal techniques for use in intelligence collection by both foreign or domestic services. This will provide an accurate information base upon which acceptable military capability assessment could be made with regard towards threat or improved collection. eable data base for III - TRAINING: Establish a knowled iorit (S/NOFORN) P g y r c. current training techniques applicable towards paranormal intelligence collection, both r .

(S/NOFORN) Priority IV - OTHER TECHNIQUES: Establish and maintain a current data base on state-of-the-art methods applicable towards paranormal techniques of military value, other than Remote Viewing (RV) techniques; i.e., speed learning, subliminal manipulation, telepathy, early warning indications, psychokinesis, etc. nEB 62 REPLACES DD FORk146v~W14-C4 S~.GSOLET 92496 A !

(S/NOFORN) RECOMMENDED METHOD: A protected IBM/Telecommunications terminal has been installed within ADCSOPS-HUMINT which provides direct access to hundreds of shared automated open source data bases. Some of these data bases contain both foreign and domestic information as well as traceable references from one to the other. Clear "lead" matrices can be established which will provide an in depth look at numerous intelligence aspects of the paranormal scientific field. Just as an example: a. (S/NOFORN) Data base information could provide references to both the findings by a ific scientist/investigator, as well as his opponents views regarding his research. This would aid in separating the good from the poor in determining information of intelligence value or specific foreign threat areas. b. (S/NOFORN) The number of references which are listed for each subject, as well as the number of others referenced by that author can be obtained. Securing such specific articles with common identifiers/descriptors will permit tracing commonality of study between scientists, both foreign and domestic. In some cases written articles are cross quoted, domestic to communist bloc origins which indicate places, people, and specific areas of communist interest. ,,~ c. (S/NOFORN) Open source quotes common reference.will tie different descriptors and identifiers together for the same areas of study, but which are currently addressed using different terminology. This will permit recognition of efforts within common areas, not readily obvious or already known. d. (S/NOFORN) Independent allied evaluations of Soviet/Communist Bloc efforts within paranormal research areas are available through these data basis. These cannot be obtained i$ any other way. e. (S/NOFORN) Techniques of training, research and development applicable Lo military intelligence collection would become available which would otherwise remain unknown or would only be found by chance. f. (S/NOFORN) Applications of other fields having a direct effect on paranormal activity would become apparent even though they would normally have no commonality in interest; i.e., chemical engineering, physics engineer, etc. 5. (U) REQUIRED ACTION: In support of the above: a. (S/NOFORN) Request an individual currently assigned to Project CENTER LANE be scheduled for formal training in the use of the IBM System now in use at ADCSOPS-HUMINT. b. (S/NOFORN) Request authorized access to the system on an as needed basis. ROBERT J. JACHIM LTC, MI Project Manager LANE Approved For Rele2U'/014DP96O788R001700350012-4
